    Young Guns are vastly talented and laden with armfuls of potential. One listen to Bones proves that.

    Tauter, tighter and leaner, it's at its best when epic choruses collide with soaring guitars. [Mar 2012, p.105]

    Young Guns may have pushed themselves to the edge to create Bones, but the end result confirms the hard work was more than worth it.

    Bones is undeniably still a solid follow-up that should consolidate their second-tier status, but they'll have to change the record next time around if they want to move into U.K.'s alt-metal big league.
